The Skyplot widget is a small QT library to visualize satellite skyplots.

If you have a command line by your hand, do

 qmake make make install 

to build and install the widgets.

This not only installs the Skyplot widget, it also installs a designer plugin.

To build the skyplot-widget with QML support, run the following:

 qmake DEFINES+=SKYPLOT_QML_SUPPORT make make install 

A QML/QtQuick example can be found in examples/main.qml and examples/main.cpp.

If you ware working with the Qt Creator:

Open the file SkyplotWidget.pro and adapt the Project settings: Add a custom build step with the make argument "install". After doing the build, the resulting files get installed. On windows, the installation path is set to c:/skyplotwidget-x.x.x. This path can be adapted in src/src.pro.

If you want to include the sources directly:

You only need to include SkyplotWidget.pri in your *.pro file and you have to define SKYPLOTWIDGET_STATIC. Have a look at example/example.pro. The SKYPLOTWIDGET_STATIC disables the Q_DECL_EXPORT / Q_DECL_IMPORT behaviour for the library (only relevant for windows).
